Terminated topaz crystal in direct contact with beryl; 12x4x2cm; Unusual specimen extracted from a very tough matrix of microcline. I have spoken with various colorado dealers and they all say they have never seen such a piece from Colorado pegmatites. So, I guess a rare find indeed. Specimen collected by Rudy Bolona. July 14, 2007.
